Fostering Futures-KFACA

Celebrating 30 Years

Thirty years ago, a group of individuals passionate about foster care in the state of Kentucky had the vision to create a support and advocacy group for foster parents. Throughout the years, this association has grown to include children in out-of-home care, adoptive, and kinship parents. We have been instrumental in pursuing rights for foster parents and promoting legislation that include raises for state foster care homes and the Foster Parent Bill of Rights. We have representatives serving as affiliates on the National Foster Parent Association State Board of Affiliates and the NFPA Strategic Planning Committee. Our organization is dedicated to the serving the best interest of children in out-of-home care and empowering the families of Kentucky.

Fostering Futures with KFACA

The Kentucky Foster & Adoptive Care Association (KFACA) is excited to re-brand with a new logo that focuses on Fostering Futures. One of our primary goals for 2018 will be to better advocate and provide connections for Kentucky's youth that are aging out of the foster care system. It is our desire to provide contacts and resources to enable them a smoother and more successful transition.
